Kos

Mr B and I went to Kos for our first holiday together. We booked with a travel agent First Choice. I think travel agents are good if you are not confident on booking your own holiday. They can arrange everything for you. We were recommended to go to Kos by some friends of ours.

Kos is a small Greek island. It really does have something for everyone. It has ruins, great food and beautiful beaches.
